Chief Edging Officer here. Real talk. Thank you so much for all the amazing support. I cannot thank you all enough. TRULY. You know everything I do is live on twitch? Where you can see me scream at you... BLAZINGLY FAST.
Thank you!
sus 🧐
Thnx CEO of multi billion dollar startup.
what do you mean ?
Really cool
Love this series. Please keep em coming! Blazingly Fast. Love the laterally inverted plaque lol.
WE ARE TRYING
@@ThePrimeagen I shall send some coconut oil if it helps.
the only person whose videos single handedly inspired me to dive deep into vim, learn some of the unusual stuff and gradually get good with it, congratulations to you prime for the 100K and also for these BLAZINGLY FAST contributions to the vim neighborhood. Keep the coconut oily movements coming!
Love the o tip for moving the cursor in visual mode. Another nice one to have is gv to reselect previous visual area
I was going to mention the “gv” Normal-mode command too. It’s very convenient after you made a mistake with Visual mode, such as selecting one line too few or too many as ThePrimagen did at 9:00.
You can gp instead of just p to move the cursor to the end of the paste (rather than having to manually navigate). Works with P too, using gP
This is actually insane. I've been with you since 9k subscribers and it's amazing seeing how much you've improved! KEEP KILLING IT PRIMEAGEN!
Always watching until the end of your videos... there are just way too many priceless scenes that cannot be missed. And the purposed content is amazing as always. Great job, man. Also, congrats on the 100k and the plate. Deserved it!
You ALWAYS have something new to show about vim, I am very impressed... every time I see you, I have got something amazing and blazingly to learn!
What I love about your vids is that they aren't pretentious "10 vim commands you don't know", but show so many cool tricks I've not used before. Almost every other video out there is the same 10 commands, probably all sourcing the same medium article on "obscure" vim commands.
So glad you're doing this series. Your video on 'g' was the first of yours I watched and was blown away how f***ing entertaining you were. Not sure this would be vim-specific but it'd fit nicely in this series... a Regex series for things like the fighting kirby and any other oddities that go beyond the basic blob operator
have a link handy?
This series is what I have always dreamed of. Thank you for doing this. The fighting one eyed Kirby is a game changer
I cant believe people actually work like this, this is incredible. I'm taking the leap of faith into believing this is worth ti
I finally started to using vim because of this series, this video is the first one that I have to "study" because IMO is the high level stuff, Keep the good work!!!
Best vim course by far, you really dove right into it. Also everything is so fast haha, need to rewind 10 times to see what you just pressed, but it's amazing seeing firsthand just how fast a true Vim user can code. I'll keep practicing and hopefully will reach that level as well soon.
Bruh, your Vim videos are so mind blowing, looking forward to coming back and actually understanding half of what you did in this video lol
@ThePrimeagen best thing i did to my config was making w => e while in operating and visual mode. If you think about it, you almost always want to use w (include space) while navigating, but use e (exclude space) while performing an operation. So this mapping just combines the two with almost no drawbacks
loving these motions which go into a pair of parens / quotes and do stuff inside them.
Thanks! This series is pure gold. Keep it up, please!!
Felt compelled to comment again after watching all the way through. Please make more of these videos! 🙏 This one was hella useful. I already have the muscle memory for the individual steps you showed in this vid, but just hadn't quite figured out how to string them together to assassinate the repetitive little manipulations we do all the time (like your example of setting the elements of that `data` array).
It feels so awesome when you get to it all together
You are the only KZheadr where I need to turn the playback speed down to 0.75x. I watch most tutorials at 1.5x. Blazingly fast was an understatement, dude. Anti-clickbait, that's what it is. Next time I expect a more honest title such as: "Absurdly hypersonic, scratch that, faster than light-speed Vim" I loved every second (which in my case was 25% longer) of this tutorial. Been using Vim for about 1.5 years and some of the tips in this video still managed to blow my mind! Thanks Prime, solid as ever!
Yayayayaya
I have always used the vertical select mode to g+control+a, loved to learn that just selecting it with line visual is enough, so much easier! And the "o" to go back and forth in visual mode, also didn't know that! I guess it can be used with the extra tip and the end, if you are in the middle of a humongous json thing, you can do a vi[ and then "o" to go to the top as well.
It's like watching a Sorcerer revealing his secret spells. Thank you very much, that's awesome!
I just found you and I feel soooo goo bc I already knew every single trick showed heere, I feel so proud of me 💌you are such an inspiration, keep goiing!!
I watched this whole video in 0.25 speed and still had to go back a few times. Loved it. You just earned another subscriber. Time to check out your other videos.
the rule of watching ThePrimeagen video, you like first, then pressing the play button
Good rule
thanks so much brother ..you are my inspiration ..started using it since 1 week ..just loving it ! ....thanks again from INDIA ..this vim skill is MUST NEEDED !
This series is awesome. Learning new vim tricks every episode!
:)
I've learned more new things about vim in the last 10 minutes than I have in months. You're a beast primagen lol. Please keep this series going!
you are welcome ^^
I learned alot of great tips here, and I've been using vim for a decade. Thanks
Thank you for all videos about Vim Movements! I walked to the end!
Damn your vim skills are in god mode! Going to take away the % sign tip and work it. Thanks for all your vids, I still go back to the original 1-6 series to refresh skills 👍🏼
I love your videos .... Now I have switched 50% of my workflows to nvim and can use it to get things done. Thanks to your video it's not that scary anymore :D
Glad I watched till the end, but happier that caught a glimpse of the elusive plowghini.
I may have converted years ago at this point, but I always learn something useful from these!
Thanks! I did not yet know about that combination of the g key with that Ctrl a and x increment and decrement. However, I tried something really interesting too, might be worth sharing. And that is trying the 0x and 0b notations for hex and binary numbers, and it turns out that Vim recognizes that as well with this incrementing and decrementing. Very cool!
Thanks a lot for this video. I
8:40 Prime, I am really interesting in seeing a video about the vim sed commands! I have recently started using find and replace a lot in vim, especially where I used to do macros.
Yeah me too
I’m on team built-in vim motions for the exact stated reason that they will likely work in whatever vim ide plugin you’re already using. Excellent advice!
Holy shit this video was mind blowing thank you!! Looking forward for more vim videos!!
Thanks for the great videos! I always enjoy discovering the intersection my vim workflows with those of other folks. I was a little surprised the you don't introduce `yap` and `dip` using the mnemonics for `a` and `i` that I think I remember learn them under: "delete AROUND para" and "delete INNER/INSIDE para". I always found the "around" and "inside" mnemonics useful, but I honestly can't remember at this point where I learned them.
I didn't even KNOW about p for paragraph and a in visual mode for "around". Nice to keep on learning movement! Finally in my "advanced" phase, I miss seeing new content, like this!
Really appreciate your content, vim stuff especially, thanks!
Love your content and passion for sharing.
Damn, I like the g thing. Also, to go to the beginning or end of a function I usually go with [{ or ]}.
Suggestion for Your bonus tip At the end of the video: vi{ can be replaced by ]}, which will bring you to the end of a “scope”. I think you can repeat by using ; which will navigate to the end of the next (inner) scope
seat-belt sign is the beautiful motion
I am SO glad I stayed for the end of this video
This series taught me everything. Thanks
Thank you, Mr. ThePrimeagen! I wish I had time to watch your streams!
The "vi{" gold nugget at the end also works when editing massive HTML/XML/etc. documents on which you have no idea where a tag begin/ends. You can use 'vit' or 'vat' (select inside tag, or select around tag -or whatever the 'a' means), and it's a good way to jump between opening/closing tags. Pressing 'o' (like in "oily, coconut-oily") helps moving to the start/end of the selection. As always, great video, Primeagen. I felt walking through the Valley of Shadow of Death every time I had to edit an array.
Even better gold nugget: ]} or [{
@@andyw732 Ty. I need to try that. I believe I saw that somewhere before, but didn't work for me 🤔
Holy shit. This is one of most informative videos that are very entertaining on this entire site
yayaya!
As for your last tip, one thing I end up using quite often is O to jump at the first or last line of a selection without leaving the visual mode.
that background makes gruvbox that much more #hawt prime...glad I stayed until the end!
Glad I watched until the end. Loving the high-octane content! 😎👉🚀
I can't believe I'm touching and even learning vim again after I hated it for a decade, just because of this channel
Killer video! More vim tricks please. I’m curious how do you go about project wide refactors such as find and replace function names and such.
Dang, I love this coconut oiled shiny, amazing, super series💥 Thanks a lot 💪
Love the videos! Been a long time coming the 100k subs :D Would love a little more depth on these motions though, it sometimes goes so quick that I have to rewind and pay a lot of attention to follow what is happening. Would also hugely appreciate a video on quickfix lists... I never use them but heard they are super useful but never was able to wrap my head around them.
I am still learning so much by seeing Prime use vim 😍
This series really convinced me to start using Vim motions. Now I have Evil in my Emacs :)
Keep them coming! There is also " :.,.+{numer} norm " to apply a sequence of comands in normal mode from current line + {number}. For exemple, insert a semi-colon at the end of 3 lines: ":.,.+2 norm A; "
You can pre enter ..,..+{number} by pressing, in normal mode, {number} followed by :
Great video, I never use the v in combination with the i{ or a{ but that seems super useful! Also I don't use the p(aragraph) which also seems pretty handy so thanks a lot Prime!
Absolute 🔥🔥as always
Glad I stayed till the end and got that nice trick!
This series could be in a playlist 😉
Love seeing that gruvbox back baby
This one was meaty, gonna have to rewatch a few times to note everything lol (and now it's probably a good time to learn how to use Treesitter)
I love how you sprinkle :w everywhere
ufff such great efficiency, one can only hope.
I love this series
I am also able to select a whole function using „vafV“. After watching the video I was playing around a little bit. Perhaps its a feature of treesitter? Also thanks for pointing out the function of the o key in visual mode! You improved my life.
Another banger! This one I'll have to rewatch a few times to get it because my vimming isn't quite at this level yet. I guess that's why I'm only Principal Janitor of TheStartup. 😅
Well... technically you are director of janitorial engineering...
@@ThePrimeagen I stand corrected, Mr. CEO. I will update my business cards and email signature appropriately. 👍
Vim god hath once again bestowed upon us new knowledge
Prime making my workflow coconut oily smooth
I recommend the "." command for the array asignments, at least if you use a single edit to do so: [uppercase I] [end] [esc]
I dropped my phone while watching this. Too much coco oil. Thanks sir, I am starting with vim and this is just needed. Would love one where you talk about what you think the “needed” plugins for a bare minimum vim setup are. Keep up the good work Maria.
If you don't already know - 'verymagic' mode makes writing regular expressions easier (all keys have their special meaning by default besides alphanumerics and _), and it's negative 'verynomagic' is equally great for verbatim text
Me listening to Prime talking about VIM: "I like your funny words magic man"
just don't stop teaching, you're the best!
who says i am teaching? :)
WOW ::::: Mind blown 🤯 I didnt know about the ctrl + a and about the substitute abilities in vim and you can use regex like selection in it I will gladly use these new information in my beautiful blazingly fast VSCode VIM 🔥
OH NO!!!! s/\(\w.*\)/data[0] = "\1"; doest work in VSCode vim 😠
Amazing content dude! I would love to hear your thoughts/strategy on macros?
Is this the Dr. Disrespect of the IT world? Nice content!
One thing I started using a whole ton is capital J - blazingly fast line joining and useful in a lot of cases.
Could you do a review of the Kinesis Advantage 360 ? Love Keyboards, vim and your content 😙
I'd love to see a look at the G command.. I remembered you doing a video on it before but I can't find it for whatever reason. That and search and replace stuff would be awesome!
Wooohooo !! Thank you for this video!
🤯 THIS IS AMAZING!
you can also do "dib" to delete inside any kind of parens/braces which I find is easier than having to think about what kind of braces you're in or reach for "%"
Oh man I've slept on the "ib" motion and the like, good call
Just an update, you can also use f with around or inner to select a function, as well as "a" for arguments (if you use treesitter). So for example, to delete a function you just do "daf" or "delete around function". To change the argument your cursor is over you do "caa" or "change around argument".
Love the VIM content
5:20 Instead of doing va}Vd you can also do dVa} dV is line-wise delete. The advantage to doing dV instead of V...d is that you can repeat it in any pair of curly braces. Repeating V...d just uses the static visual selection, i.e. the same number of lines all the time.
much smart! i didn't realize you could chain it like that!
For pasting and then indenting, you could do >p instead of p>ip
Love your office 🎉 😊
Great video! I was surprised that you could do ci", di", etc just when you are on the line. For some reason I thought I need to literally be INSIDE the " That's a deal breaker :)
yes, this is the mind blowing speeds of vim :)
I was watching vim videos, but what kind of amazing keyboard is that lmao
I'm just glad you returned to gruvbox.
Really enjoying your Neovim series! You'll love vim-matchup if you like %.
Love these vids !
Wow! I’m glad I stayed until the end!
